The seasoned midfielder, a notable figure in Nigeria’s U-17, U-20, and U-23 national teams, sees this stint with FK Palanga as a pivotal opportunity to reignite his footballing journey. Haruna, who clinched the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2007, expressed his enthusiasm about the move during a conversation with CSN.

“Yes, I have signed a short-term deal until the end of the season, and I hope to relaunch my career with this move,” Haruna conveyed, revealing the eagerness to make a significant impact in the forthcoming months.

The 27-year-old midfielder brings a wealth of experience to FK Palanga, having previously showcased his talents at renowned clubs such as AS Monaco, Dynamo Kyiv, Hoverla, FC Anzhi Makhachkala, and FC Astana. With a rich footballing history and a determined spirit, Haruna is poised to contribute to FK Palanga’s aspirations for success in the Lithuanian top-flight competition.
